On behalf of the Charlotte (NC) Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated I would like to congratulate the Young Men of the 38th Annual Kappa Beautillion Militaire. In a time where young people are often criticized, these young men have persevered and acquired skills and abilities that will make them successful in their future endeavors. I would like to thank the parents and supporters of these young men. You have provided that guiding light that is so often needed to help show them the right way and give direct support to the positive things that they learn and experience. The Beautillion Militaire was the brainchild of Charlotte Alumni Chapter's own, the late Dr. C.W. Williams, M.D. Brother Williams envisioned a program that would provide a structured atmosphere for young men to develop socially, culturally and intellectually through mentored workshops while providing scholarship opportunities. Since the orientation program in September we have watched these young men live out the Founder’s dream of the Founder . We believe that they have acquired the basic knowledge and skills that will lead them to be leaders of the next generation May you continue to be blessed by our Creator so that others will be encouraged to develop and use their talent, skills and abilities. We look forward to your future successes. Sincerely, William A. Simmons, Jr. William A. Simmons, Jr., Polemarch Charlotte (NC) Alumni Chapter Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. . 3 JOIN TODAY!

Taylor III David S. Taylor III, Chairman Kappa Beautillion Militaire 6 A Brief History of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. KAPPA ALPHA PSI, a college Fraternity, now comprised of functioning Undergraduate and Alumni Chapters on major campuses and in cities throughout the country, is the crystallization of a dream. It is the beautiful realization of a vision shared commonly by the late Revered Founders ELDER WATSON DIGGS, JOHN MILTON LEE, BYRON K. ARMSTRONG, GUY LEVIS GRANT, EZRA D. ALEXANDER, HENRY T. ASHER, MARCUS P. BLAKEMORE, PAUL CAINE, EDWARD G. IRVIN and GEORGE W. EDMONDS. It was the vision of these astute men that enabled them in the school year 1910 - 11, more specifically the night of January 5, 1911. On the campus of Indiana University at Bloomington, Indiana, was sown the seed of a fraternal tree whose fruit is now available to, and enjoyed by college men everywhere, regardless of color, religion or national origin. It is a fact of which KAPPA ALPHA PSI is justly proud that the Constitution has never contained any clause, which either excluded or suggested the exclusion of any man from membership merely because of his color, creed, or national origin. The Constitution of KAPPA ALPHA PSI is predicated upon, and dedicated to, the principles of achievement through a truly democratic Fraternity. The Fraternity's fundamental purpose is achievement. Early in this century, AfricanAmerican students were actively dissuaded from attending college. Formidable obstacles were erected to prevent the few who were enrolled from assimilating into co-curricular campus life. This ostracism characterized Indiana University in 1911, thus causing the Founders to form Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, which remains the only Greek letter organization with its 1st Chapter on the University's campus. They sought a formula that would immediately raise the sights of black collegians and stimulate them to accomplishments higher than they might have imagined. Fashioning achievement as it's purpose, Kappa Alpha Psi began uniting college men of culture, patriotism and honor in a bond of fraternity. Chartered and incorporated originally under the laws of the State of Indiana as Kappa Alpha Nu on May 15, 1911, the name was changed to KAPPA ALPHA PSI on a resolution offered and adopted at the Grand Chapter in December 1914. This change became effective April 15, 1915, on a proclamation by the then Grand Polemarch, Elder Watson Diggs. Thus, the name acquired a distinctive Greek letter symbol and KAPPA ALPHA PSI thereby became a Greek letter Fraternity in every sense of the designation. Since the fraternity’s founding, more than 82,000 members have been initiated into undergraduate and alumni chapters throughout the United States and chapters in the United Kingdom, Korea, Japan, Germany and the Bahamas. 7 KBM The History and Objectives of the Kappa Beautillion Militaire The Kappa Beautillion (pronounced bō-til’yen) was developed in Charlotte NC as a local response to Guide Right, the national service directive of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. Since its inception in 1976 by the late Dr. C.W. Williams, MD, this program has become a landmark experience for those who have participated and has since been adopted by Kappa Alumni chapters across the country. The program provides African American youth with mentoring, guidance, self-awareness, college preparation, leadership training and scholarships. Through the non-profit Kappa Foundation of Charlotte, Inc., the men of the Charlotte Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi volunteer our time and resources to “Invest in the Future”. The Foundation provides a structured atmosphere for young men in their senior year of high school to develop socially, culturally and intellectually through mentored workshops while providing scholarship opportunities. Students are selected for participation based on character, academic performance, talent and extracurricular activities. Planned activities culminate with a formal presentation that will highlight the participant’s development, accomplishments and talents. Program Objectives To provide a structured atmosphere for high school students to develop socially, intellectually, spiritually and morally through professionally supervised educational research, seminars, workshops, and social activities. The program provides participants with: Seminars and Workshops. Self awareness. Understanding of personal potential. Fellowship with aspiring high achievers. Professional mentoring. Teamwork and leadership skills. Social and interpersonal skills. Guidance on college and career choices. College preparation Academic development. Opportunity to earn scholarships. Banquet Award Finale 8 The History of the Charlotte Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. The Charlotte Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. was founded on June 10th 1944, by three distinguished members. They are Howard W. Hill, Paris P. McCorkle and Carson H. Beckwith. The chapter was chartered on May 3, 1953. Presently, the Charlotte Alumni Chapter is very active in the community and participates in over 15 annual service events. They include the Kappa Beautillion Militaire and the Kappa League, which provide programs and activities for youth, Thanksgiving and Christmas clothing and food drives, Big Brothers and Big Sisters program and the Salvation Army Kettle Drive. The chapter has also made contributions to the uptown Men's Shelter and the United Negro College Fund on behalf of area black colleges and universities. In July 2003 we kicked off our 76th National Grand Chapter Conclave Meeting here in Charlotte by establishing a Computer Lab at the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club on Milton Road. The chapter has made a tremendous effort at being focused on working in the community and has been quite successful in doing so. Points of interest for the chapter include hosting the 2003 as well as the 1970 National Grand Chapter meetings, and having several members that have been recipients of various honors and awards from both the fraternity and the community. We also have several prominent brothers that have been members of the chapter such as: Dr. Reginald Hawkins, who was a civil rights activist; Bro. William Blakeney, who served in many different capacities for the fraternity; Bro. Howard C. Barnhill; Dr. Kenneth Chambers and Bro. Johnny Newman. Additionally we have Bro. Sheldon McAlpin, who is currently our Senior Province Polemarch. Presently the Charlotte Alumni Chapter has over 150 active members. 9 KBM Kappa Foundation of Charlotte, Inc. “Investing in the Future” KAPPA BEAUTILLION COMMITTEE and MENTORS David Taylor - Chairman Brian Chisholm H.
